Chapter 269
Sebastian replied, ‘Love is love. It’s different from kinship. Perhaps love at its later stage might have traces of kinship, but love will be primary. If love really can evolve into so–called kinship, then this love wasn’t pure enough to begin with.‘
Rosalie looked at Sebastian’s cold words on the screen. A chill
pierced through her heart.
Theodore had always treated her as his sister, and felt only kinship
for her. He never loved her, and there wasn’t any evolution in his feelings for her.
Sighing helplessly, Rosalie replied, ‘Perhaps love might eventually evolve into kinship with time. No matter how pure, there is an expiry date to love. It is a feeling driven by hormones that will eventually be depleted.‘
Sebastian asked, ‘Do you not believe in love anymore?”
Rosalie replied, ‘I don’t know. Whether I believe it or not, the world is filled with people with regrets, and many of these regrets are due to love. Perhaps not loving would reduce the troubles we bring to ourselves.‘
Sebastian texted, ‘But there are people who remain together their entire lives. Love isn’t an emotion. Emotions may come and leave, but love is a bond that is carved in one’s bones. If it ever vanishes one day, then it isn’t true love. True love will never vanish. It will conquer time, it will conquer all things.’
Rosalie asked, ‘Are you referring to eternal love?‘
Sebastian replied, ‘Yes, I believe in eternal love. As long as you find the right person, you’ll be able to love one another forever. There

might be troubles in between, but that love will keep them together forever.‘
Rosalie bit her lip, sensing his impassioned tone through his words. She typed many things but deleted all of them, eventually deciding to text a smiling emoji.
After a few seconds, she added, ‘It’s great you think that way.”
Sebastian asked, ‘Really? Don’t you find me childish?’
Rosalie exclaimed, ‘Why would I? In fact, I find people who pretend to be mature and seasoned even more hateful. They make this world out to be so cold and cruel, thinking that everyone else is naive. I know what reality is like, but no matter what, we should hold out hope. In this world, there is darkness where there is light. We can’t just look at the darkness and neglect the existence of light.‘
Rosalie felt something burning in her chest as she went on, ‘I think you’re a great man. You’re in such a powerful position, with wealth and skills, but you manage to retain a pure heart. That is so rare! I’m sure you’ll come across a great woman, and you two will be forever in love with each other. You two will make me believe that true love that is eternal exists in this world.‘
Rosalie began imagining the kind of woman Sebastian will eventually marry. She even began getting excited about attending their wedding.
Oh dear! She was beginning to let her imagination run wild.
Sebastian didn’t reply to her so quickly this time. His text came after over a minute, ‘Rose, what kind of woman do you think suits me?‘
Rosalie texted, ‘Give me a moment, let me think about it.‘
She leaned back on her pillow and shut her eyes to seriously consider his question. After a while, she opened her eyes and typed a reply.
‘Actually, I can’t think of specifics. Fundamentally, I think she’ll be like

you, pure in heart no matter how high a status she has. You two will be like those old couples who remain innocent children at heart. I find that super adorable.‘
